Set Out Today

Five minutes later, the train gradually slowed as it entered the station and came to a stop.

The carriage doors opened, and the passengers filed off in orderly lines.

Su Yang took out the suitcases he and Li Yuanying had brought and followed the crowd off the train.

The platform at Ruishi Station looked quite old, with a distinctly retro feel—much like the railway stations in most Chinese cities had looked more than a decade ago.

The two of them soon followed the departing crowd out through the station entrance.

The moment they stepped outside, Su Yang spotted Yoshie standing more than ten meters to his right. She was wearing a black baseball cap, a white off-the-shoulder knitted top, a coffee-colored pleated skirt, and a pair of black leather boots.

Although she was somewhat older, her face and figure made her look nothing like a thirty-four-year-old woman. Anyone would believe she was in her early twenties.

Standing beside her was another young woman who was most likely Japanese as well. She was a few centimeters taller than Yoshie, around 163 centimeters tall.

She had a small, round face and a short bob with bangs. She was wearing a white dress and had a fairly attractive appearance, somewhere around 80 to 85 points. She had the looks of a cute, girl-next-door type—but her chest was enormous, visually somewhere between an E and an F cup.

In one phrase: a baby-faced girl with a massive bust.

Su Yang exclaimed inwardly when he saw her.

“System, scan her.”

【Kawano Haruka, age: 26】

【Height: 162 cm】

【Figure: 90】

【Number of sexual partners: 1】

【Traits: cute, airheaded, loves acting spoiled, soft and sweet】

“What interesting traits… Heh heh, I like her.”

Su Yang and Li Yuanying hurried over with their suitcases. Before they had even reached them, Yoshie turned her head.

The moment she saw Su Yang, she froze for a second. Then she hurried over, flashing two rows of pearly white teeth as she called out, “Su-san!”

“Haha, long time no see, Yoshie.”

“Indeed! I never thought we’d meet in Europe. I’m so happy!”

“Me too. How have you been lately?”

“Very well.”

“That’s good. Oh, right—let me introduce you. This is my friend, Li Yuanying. She’s Korean.” Su Yang turned and gestured toward Li Yuanying as he introduced her.

Yoshie looked at the woman standing before her, who was nearly a head taller, and smiled. “Hello, I’m Yoshida Yoshie. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“Hello, hello. You’re Yoshie, right? Su Yang has told me about you. I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful!” Li Yuanying said in English.

Yoshie could manage simple conversations in English. She glanced at Li Yuanying with slight embarrassment. “You’re even prettier. You have such a great figure, and you’re so young. I’m really jealous.”

“Oh, Sis Mie, you’re being too modest. Aren’t you young too? You look at most two or three years older than me.” Li Yuanying turned to Su Yang. “I’m not wrong, am I?”

Su Yang merely smiled without answering.

“How old are you?” Yoshie asked.

“I’m twenty-one.”

Yoshie covered her mouth and laughed. “I’m thirteen years older than you.”

“What? Thirteen years?” Li Yuanying’s eyes widened. She walked up to Yoshie and studied her face carefully. “How is that possible?! Your skin is so nice. You look twenty-five at most!”

“Hahaha, Yuanying, you’re so good at flattery. If only I were really twenty-five…” As Yoshie spoke, she secretly stole a glance at Su Yang.

If she were truly only twenty-five, she would pursue Su Yang without hesitation.

“I’m honestly not just flattering you. You really do look young. There’s no way anyone could tell you’re in your thirties.”

“Ah, I’m not young anymore. In a few years, I’ll be forty.”

Su Yang cut in at that point. “You two can stop obsessing over that. There’s still someone standing beside you, you know. Yoshie, is this your friend?”

During their introductions, the cute young woman beside Yoshie had remained quietly at the side. She hadn’t interrupted or shown the slightest impatience, suggesting that she had a very good temperament.

Hearing Su Yang’s question, Yoshie finally realized what had happened. “Oh dear, I almost forgot about my friend.”

She turned and pulled the cute girl forward. “Su Yang, Yuanying, let me introduce you. This is my good friend, Kawano Haruka. You can call her Kawano or Qingxia. She came along especially to travel with me this time.”

Su Yang looked at Kawano Haruka and waved with a smile. “Hello, Qingxia. I’m Su Yang. It’s nice to meet you.”

Qingxia had already looked Su Yang up and down several times while everyone was greeting one another. Yoshie had told her before how incredibly handsome Su Yang was, and after seeing him in person, all her doubts vanished.

She stepped forward, revealing a tiny canine tooth as she extended her hand with a smile. “Hello, Su-san. I’m a good friend of Yoshie’s.”

“Hello, hello. I’m a good friend of Yoshie’s too.”

The two shook hands.

Li Yuanying stepped forward as well and exchanged greetings with Qingxia. After briefly getting acquainted, the four of them turned and headed toward the street ahead.

“Yoshie, where are you staying?” Su Yang asked.

“At a hotel nearby.”

“How far is it?”

“Not far. It’s just two blocks away. I’ll take you there first so you can check in.”

Su Yang thought for a moment. “No rush. Have you eaten yet?”

“We have. What about you two? If you haven’t eaten, I can take you to try some local specialties.”

“We ate on the train.”

“Oh, okay.”

Su Yang rolled his eyes thoughtfully before continuing, “Yoshie, how long are you planning to stay here?”

Yoshie shook her head. “It doesn’t really matter. I just came out to travel around and see different places. I don’t have a fixed itinerary. Qingxia is usually the one who decides where we go.”

“Really? Then I have an idea.”

“What idea?” Yoshie and Qingxia both turned to look at him.

“Have you heard of Glindewa Town?”

“Glin… I don’t think so,” Yoshie said. Before she had finished speaking, Qingxia raised her hand with a smile.

“I know it. It’s a picturesque place. Actually, I was planning to take Sis Mie there this time, but she said you two were coming, so we stayed here to wait for you.”

“Is that so? Then what a coincidence. I was planning to go there myself.”

“I want to go too!” Qingxia said with a nod and a smile.

“If that’s the case, what are we waiting for?” Li Yuanying chimed in.

“What do you mean?” Yoshie looked as though she still hadn’t quite grasped what they were suggesting.

“Let’s go to Glindewa!” Li Yuanying said with a smile.

“I don’t have any objections. If everyone wants to go, then let’s go.”

“I mean, let’s leave today!” Li Yuanying added with a playful blink.

“Today?” Yoshie said, stunned.

“Yes! It isn’t even two o’clock yet. There’s a direct train to Glindewa from the station behind us, and the ride only takes three or four hours.”

“Isn’t that a little sudden? I was planning to show you around Rinewa for a day.”

“We can’t wait, Sis Mie.” Li Yuanying pulled out her phone, opened the pictures of Glindewa Town she had downloaded on the train, and held them out to Yoshie. “Look! Isn’t it beautiful?”

“Wow!” Yoshie exclaimed, her mouth falling open as she held up her phone. “It’s gorgeous.”

“Right? We’ve gotten tired of big cities. We should go somewhere like this—a place straight out of a fairy tale—to cleanse our souls. What do you think, Qingxia?” Li Yuanying tilted her head toward Qingxia and gave her a playful wink.

“I totally agree!”

Su Yang said nothing, simply smiling as he followed the three beautiful women. He hadn’t expected Li Yuanying to be so outgoing; in just a few minutes, she had already hit it off with the two girls she’d only just met.

That was fine by him. He wouldn’t even need to say much—Li Yuanying could handle everything for him.
